[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 1/2] e2fsprogs: refactor to fix conflicts with busybox and util-linux

Wed Apr 12 11:42:48 UTC 2017


So far we attempted to solve the conflicts between busybox and e2fsprogs
by removing busybox programs from /bin and /sbin, leaving the e2fsprogs
ones at /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. This fails with BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR=y,
leading to situations like the one described in bug 9436.

We could provide a better solution by means of a fine-grained selection
of programs, like util-linux does, but this would require big changes in
e2fsprogs. So instead of resorting to dirty tricks we switch to a more
pragmatic approach:

- Use libblkid and libuuid from util-linux for host and target packages.
  This prevents overriding them with e2fsprogs' ones, which may cause
  problems for other packages.

- Drop all configs to select/deselect utilities without corresponding
  enable/disable options to the configure script. In other words, we
  always install the basic set of utilities.

- Do not build UUID utilities, which are disabled along with libuuid.
  The util-linux ones must be used instead.

- Install e2fsprogs utilities at /bin and /sbin, overriding the ones
  eventually installed by busybox.

- Do not create symlinks from mke2fs to mkfs.ext[234], since e2fsprogs'
  installation already creates them (fsck.ext4dev and mkfs.ext4dev were
  dropped in version 1.43.4).

Notice that these changes do exactly the opposite of what is requested
in bug 9436. On the other hand the policy for e2fsprogs becomes coherent
with the one for util-linux: busybox never wins.

Since e2fsprogs depends on util-linux, it's built later. So in order to
have e2fsck from e2fsprogs and the fsck wrapper from util-linux (which
is better maintained and compatible with systemd) we disable e2fsprogs'
fsck if the one from util-linux is selected.

Fixes:

---
Changes v1->v2
  - Add depenndece on !BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_FSCK to
    BR2_PACKAGE_E2FSPROGS_FSCK
  - Add comment telling that the fsck from util-linux has preference.
  - Pass "--enable-fsck" conditionally to configure
  - Remove the guard around the removal of /usr/sbin/fsck, since the
    fsck from busybox and util-linux are installed at /sbin
  - Improve comments and commit message
Changes v2->v3
  - Pass "--disable-fsck" conditionaly to configure too, since enable
    is the default.
  - Do not attempt to remove $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/sbin/fsck, just the
    $(TARGET_DIR)/sbin/fsck from busybox.
Changes v3->v4
   - Improve commit message
Changes v4->v5
   - Extreme overhauling, deeply simplifying the recipe and following
     the suggestion from Arnout Vandecappelle to install e2fsprogs
     utilities on /bin and /sbin.
Changes v5->v6
   - Fix typos and make small changes in commit message
Changes v6->v7
   - Improve/clean comments in Config.in and add a missing depend on
     !BR2_nios2
   - Add explanation in .mk about the dependence on host-util-linux
   - Restore forced link to libintl if BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT_IF_LOCALE=y
     and BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y.
   - Improve commit message
